i've been on this board for over a year, although i only have about 40 posts i understand the fustration of the senior members that expect that members post in the appropriate category.
for newbies, they expect to get answers immediately without looking for it themselves, it's kind of like the 'are we there yet' type of question, it gets annoying after a while.
This board probably has a huge new batch of people that joined as a result of the publicity from the recent media. Yes, there is attitude on this board, but you will find that on every board, you go ask the same questions without doing any homework on another board, you'll have the same attitude.
just my 2 cents.
